Farman said the easement appears on recorded parcel maps and was “dedicated and accepted by the Town Engineer” and that the obstruction — a poured concrete RV slab and a shed built across the easement — is violating town codes and deed restrictions. He said water now backs up into his yard on every rain event, eroding soil, damaging concrete and compromising his home’s foundation, and that the lot is effectively “a permanent detention basin with no outlet.”

Farman asked the council for four specific items: a public commitment to restore the easement using an independent stormwater firm, emergency abatement before the October‑to‑November rain season, immediate compliance with CEQA and MS4 permitting requirements, and a legal explanation and documentation for any claim that the easement is private.

Mayor Ring acknowledged the town had been aware of the issue and said it had been on staff’s radar but did not provide immediate corrective action at the meeting. No formal enforcement action was recorded on the transcript; staff said the matter had been previously considered by planning and engineering staff and that the resident would provide documentation to the town.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Loomis Town Council June 10, 2025 Monthly meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A Loomis property owner told the council the town has a duty to clear a blocked public drainage easement that is flooding his lot and making it unbuildable; he asked for emergency abatement and enforcement, citing prior engineering findings and planning conditions.","taxTitle","Loomis, Placer County, California","taxId",79262,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6529890,"Loomis approves lease with South Placer Fire District for Magnolia Street parking lot",152,7212000,7364000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3781289-3195f2a846305feebfa2af617566158f&start=7212&end=7364","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3781289-3195f2a846305feebfa2af617566158f/thumbnail_7212000.jpg","/articles/6529890/Loomis/Placer-County/California/Loomis-approves-lease-with-South-Placer-Fire-District-for-Magnolia-Street-parking-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6529890-80f401e2b50cb046dfbc86fb8cf284cb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771087839&Signature=c5PJSyTwPP8AeKNOKRMIoSFFwN6FNB3QeZJfO-4GyU7iMdZE1DkLog9U3o1AA~rgWy1yXtyoARggJbypaG-dKVQ6z1tF4Tv1UCvJH5FTRml4D4s18i8o6Gc1n~7ZC52uG7jdZYsh6Exkcjqbs3denGVNmnQEwRBzUjOQTQnAXGWibdvN6-~n5XnV4vHNg0xb4H8o1N8ZBxAihP2Lf2KWoXKZZFCzoG7nZpNbQn8ptn5T~g0EFNXnPYGS2eQn8Tuj8BHEeizoRxE4enYueL0o2MXKY5RodYrigf9VQ9Gv7MHnk2D1qjwXFtS3ClkkImN7igm9C0nw2Kh4ISa8NVqsZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Loomis Town Council approved a lease June 10 with the South Placer Fire District to use a bare parcel at 3664 Magnolia Street — behind town hall — as public parking.

Town Manager Wes described a five‑year agreement that automatically renews annually unless either party terminates it. The town will pay $1 per year (effectively $5 over five years) for the lot; the lease restricts use to public vehicle parking.

Carol said the space would create roughly 20 overflow parking stalls to serve the downtown Horseshoe‑Bar/Taylor Road corridor. The town intends to fund materials from the general fund and is pursuing volunteer labor; Penryn Church has already offered to review the site and donate labor, and local contractors have expressed willingness to assist. Staff estimated the materials cost would be well under the town manager’s $50,000 signature authority and would return to council if larger funding were required.

Council voted by roll call in favor of the staff recommendation: Council member Youngblood — Aye; Council member Cortez — Aye; Council member Cartwright — Aye; Council member Clark‑Kretz — Yes; Mayor Ring — Yes.

The council asked staff to add wayfinding signage and to coordinate a site plan and volunteer work days. No changes to the lease terms were recorded at the meeting.","The town approved a multi‑year lease with the South Placer Fire District to use a vacant parcel behind town hall as public parking.

Ted (finance director) summarized adjustments since a May 15 budget workshop: combining interior and exterior library projects into a single library project, adding a town‑hall expansion funded from community facilities fees (Fund 325) now that an adjacent property purchase has closed, and moving a recently completed culvert reconstruction out of the next fiscal year’s capital list. Staff also updated sales‑tax revenue forecasts upward by modest amounts and adjusted staff wage assumptions to reflect the published cost‑of‑living increase.

“Those are all the changes,” the finance director said, and presented projected surpluses of roughly $194,000 for 2025–26 and $145,000 for 2026–27 in the general fund after the adjustments.

Council member roll call on the budget motion recorded the following votes: Council member Youngblood — Aye; Council member Clark‑Kretz — Yes; Council member Cartwright — Aye; Council member Cortez — Aye; Mayor Ring — Yes. The roll call resulted in unanimous approval.

The council also approved a written general fund operating‑reserve policy memorializing a target reserve level (policy adopted in the resolutions) and noted staff will return with position‑allocation changes for fiscal year 2026–27 when COLA numbers are known.","The Loomis Town Council approved a biannual budget for fiscal years 2025–26 and 2026–27, adopted a position allocation for 2025–26, certified the appropriations limit and established a general fund operating reserve policy.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6529900,"Loomis summer swim program in doubt as town struggles to recruit lifeguards",290,1308000,1598000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3781289-3195f2a846305feebfa2af617566158f&start=1308&end=1598","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3781289-3195f2a846305feebfa2af617566158f/thumbnail_1308000.jpg","/articles/6529900/Loomis/Placer-County/California/Loomis-summer-swim-program-in-doubt-as-town-struggles-to-recruit-lifeguards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6529900-d9c0127d933643d5575b926c20861868/orig.mp4?Expires=1771087839&Signature=PH6g3h4DZiyWYeaxdpUAcalmbPQgGue2tDV5qct2bXtwa3-L8djiJGabaqZeH39CrdEPnjrVlMmpDvxaDYmFQLWkT4-7-Zq0eYukERrlgkHiqlwWM7yHiR1Q3PsjC5NvCHAcICfhgnEXCwwf4UH6aSCuofzU8x7DYCiaSOPpKrtXYe-XHREe5mUnTHhH-E5~IN8Xker53rYpvkfdBXlH20-9Tl8ZosFEf5ELKHiK2YQT~gJ42X7hwgvIpgkWK5laON5IICF1Xt3elTGGDQKMyi-wSV4QvJYu-UhXpnzX5XOuTYGTsfDu12o4xTU0LI4mPsDZ2o4X-CbaNTwnZ0Wr0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town staff told the council June 10 that the 2025 Loomis community swim program faces a staffing shortfall that may force cancellation this summer.

Carol (recreation/parks staff) said the town historically relied on a handshake relationship with the Dolphin Swim Club, which provided lifeguards and supervisors while the town employed them. She told the council that the death of a longtime coordinator, lapses in lifeguard training this year and limited enrollment have left the town with only three potential staffers — one of whom was not certified.

“I’m not ready to call it quits on the program,” Carol said, “but I can’t guarantee that after maybe 10 days I’ll bring it back forward to Wes as to whether or not it makes sense to even just take this as a learnings experience.” She explained that for the pool size and typical attendance the town requires four staff on deck per shift — three guards and one supervisor (the supervisor must be fingerprinted).

Council members asked whether alternate providers had been contacted; Carol said she had reached out to nearby aquatics programs in Auburn, Roseville and other clubs and posted job flyers and boosted wages, but had only received one usable applicant.

Town Manager Wes told the council the town will develop a plan for next year “where the town is in control of the program, not depending on another organization to do on a handshake deal.” For 2025, staff said they will keep recruiting and may recommend either a truncated program or postponement.

No formal action was taken. Staff said they will return to council with a recommendation if the town cannot assemble the required certified staff for safe operations.","Loomis staff reported a near‑immediate shortage of certified lifeguards and a supervisor for the 2025 community swim program; council and staff said they are exploring fall or next‑year options and moving toward a town‑run model.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6529905,"Loomis holds Prop. 218 hearing on Recology rate increase; no written protests received",1153,4838000,5991000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3781289-3195f2a846305feebfa2af617566158f&start=4838&end=5991","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3781289-3195f2a846305feebfa2af617566158f/thumbnail_4838000.jpg","/articles/6529905/Loomis/Placer-County/California/Loomis-holds-Prop-218-hearing-on-Recology-rate-increase-no-written-protests-received","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6529905-9daed5d825e5520b27da7b2aabc1d0f3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771087839&Signature=KymqruaWPxFRgeN5aIqyF5vvcks-3fKKEew7NqFcIm2d9x2iEe7BIftqIdDRUSHb5N~QKQDWlPTjgOSzlBafgY~1dY2NZMZorITdzcvJIgf9xQAEqFqcK0bZATv9H7RdkHGeqDJfFW3I0~~-hK6rhxNP8B45Vp6BrC6QzFpoQVaM1tYb~mpc~hjrGHeNNdoTxg7UhjoEBvavfDaZXazolmKIJq3Yfyz0VvHowaXlieVEzgbE~Ceh3ULfxFlw2DFVaERNdK4fNcWBicOIxkhHbqUrNb79y50Bfg4G4yhl6zLNmtP5yKAorVxSw3x8McRcgfJxTHhBL2p0Ck~0kEmcMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Loomis Town Council opened a Proposition 218 public hearing June 10 to consider a rate adjustment request from Recology Auburn Placer that would take effect July 1, 2025.

Town Finance staff said the proposed change combines three components: a 2.58% pass‑through for increased disposal (tipping) fees from the Western Placer facility, a 2.96% cost‑of‑living adjustment for labor/equipment, and no change to a separate local services fee that funds street sweeping and other recycling programs. Staff said a typical residential 96‑gallon account would increase from $36.46 to $37.44 per month, roughly 2.7%.

“The proposed adjustment is broken down into three components,” interim staff explained during the presentation, noting the increase would keep Loomis competitive with neighboring jurisdictions while reflecting higher operating costs.

Several residents spoke during the hearing. Peggy Lee told the council she had seen a decline in collection quality, saying green‑waste pickups were missed in her neighborhood “two weeks in a row” and that contacting the company had been difficult. Another resident raised confusion about the senior discount eligibility.

Frank K. (interim town counsel) reminded the public that under Prop. 218 only written protests tied to a parcel and received by the town clerk before the close of the hearing count toward a majority protest. Clerk Carol (town clerk) reported the town had received zero written protests by the close of the hearing.

Because the hearing record included public comment but no written protests, staff said the town could proceed consistent with Prop. 218 procedures.

Action and next steps: Council heard the staff presentation and public comment and received the clerk’s tally of written protests. The transcript does not show a recorded roll‑call vote on the Recology rate resolution in the public record provided here; the clerk reported zero written protests at the close of the hearing.","Loomis held a Prop. 218 public hearing on a Recology Auburn Placer request for a modest service-rate adjustment tied to disposal pass-throughs and a cost‑of‑living allowance. Town staff reported zero written protests at the hearing; several residents spoke but did not submit written protests required under Proposition 218.","actionData","errors"]
